Lösungsarchitektur für die Einführung der elektronischen Gesundheitskarte und der auf ihr basierenden Anwendungen

Abstract

In Germany it is intended that each insurant in the compulsory health insurance will get a Patient Data Card by 2006-01-01. This project report characterizes the present state of the system architecture for the telematics infrastructure elaborated by the self-administration of German health care. The introduction of the Patient Data Card aims at increasing the quality in medical care as well as improvement of cost effectiveness and transparency of health care output. The great deal of actors and the high amount of requirements concerning law including data privacy, and engineering including security and reliability cause a highly complex project. The overall system architecture is based on legacy systems which are connected to the telematics infrastructure and its new services by special modules.
